Migrated to Australia1883 on the 'Sydenham' from London, as an unassisted migrant.

In wife Catherine's obituary Patrick was described as late of the Granuaile Hotel who "went there during the construction of the railway Line".

"Then along came the railway commissioners in Oct1893 calling for tenders for the 'Erection of Station Buildings at BinnaBurra, Granuaile, Cavanba, Tiagara Grass, and Mullumbimby....' A giant sign proclaiming the place 'Granuaile' was dulyerected at the station (built on portion of Campbell's property) and probably due to lobbying by Catholic Irishman J.P.Garvan MLA, a bloke with big interests in the area. But Catholic Campbell (born Clarencetown, of Irish immigrant parents) had already introduced the name 'Granuaile' when he built the adjacent 'Granuaile Hotel, Byron Creek', in 1892 to cater for 100s of thirsty navvies. Railway construction got underway in Mar1891 and very quickly over a 1000 navvies were being accommodated in 'canvas towns' that sprang up along the line. Here and there along the route of the line stores have been "run up" by enterprising traders.... In some of these "centres of population" there may be 50 navvies, in others 100..., said an SMH journalist on 6Jun1892. And one of those centres evolved into Bangalow. " The Granuaille Hotel, established in 1892 still existed in 2006, after being burned down, as the "Bangalow Hotel".

Patrick was described as the publican in 1906. And in 1898 in the NSW Country Directory.^3,4,7,8,9,10
